Whether you’re finally putting your feet up after a busy day with the family or sitting down with a hot drink after dinner with friends, it’s always nice to have something sweet sitting in the fridge ready to pull out and enjoy.
Luckily, there are some quick and easy treats you can whip up when you have a bit of spare time that you can stash away in your fridge for a couple of weeks – if they last that long!
That’s where this recipe for homemade strawberry creams comes in – these sweet, smooth bit-sized strawberry flavoured treats are an absolute delight. While they’re dead easy to make, they’re absolutely delicious and make the perfect filler present – they taste just like the strawberry chocolates you find inside a box of Roses!
Once prepared, simply store them in an airtight container in the fridge and pop a handful in a pretty serving bowl before serving. I’m sure you’ll absolutely love them.
Ingredients
- 2 egg whites

Method
- Whisk egg whites in a large bowl until foamy
